B----yes....the borers got to them....that is why I pulled the entire lot of the squash out yesterday. Those bugs and the rain just killed the plants.

Foam....I am at the Quilt Shop now....don't remember then name...but the little name tag is still in the garden...will look this afternoon.

Dirt....I am loving the fresh veggies. The Pencil Cob corn has not tasseled yet...but its tall! The green beans have blooms all over the place.

Below is an issue that a bunch of us around here are having with our cukes. Thought at first the cukes had cross pollinated with the squash. BUT...was told by one of the master gardeners here...that...with all the rain...and them hiding under the foliage...they are doing this. Hate to waste them....but they are nasty. Hard almost like a pumpkin.

Here is another pic from what I harvested yesterday. There was a bunch more...but I sent a bunch home with my Son.

Soak the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and onions overnight in water and salt. Drain. Cook carrots and green beans for 10 minutes and drain. Mix all ingredients. Heat to a boil. Pack in jars and seal. Store in the refrigerator or process for longer storage. Makes about a quart and a half.

Looked at our garden yesterday. We have 3 zucchini starting and about a dozen 1" long okra pods. Found 3 more pea pods and ripe blueberries. We no longer have lettuce harvested it all for two tiny salads last night.

Here are some views from the Victory Garden today. Corn is finally starting to tassel! Yipeeee! Put some epsom salts at the base of the mater plants to give them a boost. Grey and overcast today....more rain coming...so the epsom salts will get into that dirt.

Now I know why it is called a Victory Garden. It certainly is a winner.

Thanks Disco....this is the biggest I have ever done. Did the Victory part....(1) for history...and back during the Wars....folks did gardens to help feed the family (2) to prove to my Husband that I don't have a black thumb and will actually stick to it (3) just becuz I love canning and fresh produce too.
